My car was hit by a paintball
So I'm driving with my gf yesterday to In N' Out burger in Westwood (L.A./So. Cal for those that don't know) just adjacent to the UCLA campus when my passenger side window gets hit by a pink paintball. My gf nearly jumped out of her seat from the sound of the impact, it scared the hell out of her. Luckily her window was all the way up or it would have hit her in the face or eye. I immediately pulled over and looked around for the suspect but there were too many apartment buildings/frat houses and open windows. I quickly cleaned all the paint off my window and the splatter that got on the body of the car with speedwipe (it pays to keep a bottle with a mf towel in the car), then I called campus police and told them to keep their eyes open for paintball gun activity in that area.
I WAS SO PISSED!! Can you imagine if my gf had been rolling her window down prior to the impact, she could have been blinded (the sound of the impact sounded like a rock hitting the window). I hope they catch these fuckers! The incident took place on Gayley about 1-2 blocks north of Strathmore near all the UCLA fraternity houses (for all you So. Cal./West L.A. guys).

if it woulda hit your window you prob wouldn't have been as mad... but to think about how your girl coulda gotten hurt... thats serious business... odds are they wernt aiming at the window. just your car... |

I live off campus, couldn't stand the idea of living next to all the frat f@gs. Sorry to hear about this Rick, glad to hear the gf is ok though. I never drive through that area, I stick to parking my car at one of the Sunset lots and walk from there. Wish you found the fucker that shot at you. |

I know a guy who was in the paper because he shot another vehicle with a paintball gun who was cursing along in the passing lane next to a slow right laner (2 lane highway).. he was so pissed he shot the car when he zipped past.. he was later arrested.

I've had an egg thrown at my car before while on campus. It was pretty late at night, 1 am~ish. It hit my passenger rear quarter panel and left a glass-like cracking effect in my clear coat.
Still there to this day. Its not real noticable in my TiAg unless your looking for it.

rickc,
Glad your girlfriend is alright (as well as the car). My buddy had someone paintball his 350z at close range - happened at night in the parking lot of his apartment complex. Dented rear hatch, decent paint damage on hatch and bumper, paintballs shot up the exhaust pipes... One truly crappy (more-so annoying) part was the spray from the pellets across the roof and parts of the hood/sides. Every droplet caused etching/damage to the clear coat that needed to be buffed out... I guess my point is that there's something to be thankful for in your situation. There's plenty of jackasses in fraternities and out. Sure, put a bunch of guys together and stupidity will ensue, but I think your comment is pretty far off. |

glad you and your gf are ok, your car probably wasn't the only one hit, go back stake out the area in a beater w/ dark tints and when you see the shooter return fire w/ your own Paint Ball gun ala Driveby....(cali right) jkjkjkkjk

Yeah, glad your g/f was ok. I would have reported it to LA police and not the campus police. Campus police: rent-a-cop.
These F_ _ _ _ _ s are lucky. |
